Hog Dogs for the Homeless
A huge crowd today.. it's the end of the month and they have less money. Some men asked me for blankets and bedrolls which I did not have. They are actually sleeping outside in this cold. Their needs are real. One man said he had a new baby so he was given a blanket made by the children in Sunday school. There were many more men than women today so men's clothing, shoes, jackets, hats and gloves are the biggest need in the winter. They also request blankets, pillows, backpacks and bedrolls. Thank you for your very generous donations. The Homeless are poor and grateful to receive your gifts. Carole Harrington
